Problems with exporting TIFF Charts #13

Closed pakthan closed 2 months ago

pakthan commented 8 months ago

Hi! Thank you very much for this wonderful tool!

I don't know, if it is a bug or just my lack of knowledge...

I am using a JSON File to create an export of all approach charts for the german airfields. everything works just fine, but no matter which "imageFormat" is chosen, it always exports into Geo-PDF.

To use it in Enroute, I need it as GEO-TIFF... the single export function works just fine and I get the desired TIFF.

Maybe someone can give me a hint, what I am doing wrong?

Here is my actual JSON: { "version": "1.0.2", "name":"AIP-VFR-Germany _TIF", "description": "The whole AIP-VFR of Germany TIF", "type": "FFCP", "pages": { "coveredArea": [ { "type": "GeoRectangle", "west": 5.0, "south": 47.0, "east": 16.0, "north": 56.0 } ], "asSingleFile": true }, "charts": { "coveredArea": [ { "type": "GeoRectangle", "west": 5.0, "south": 47.0, "east": 16.0, "north": 56.0 } ], "minInvScale": 10000.0, "maxInvScale": 500000.0, "imageFormat": "tiff" } }

It's not a bug, it's a feature :-). The example configuration from which you have created this one was explicitly made for ForeFlight and thus produces data in a format which only ForeFlight understands directly. Therefore the imageFormat is ignored and substituted by Geo-PDF. Enroute requires a native Trip-Kit which you can get by default if you just remove the line "type": "FFCP", In addition, Enroute does not require TIFF files when you are creating a whole Trip-Kit. Actually I would advise you not to use TIFF for that purpose because of its size and because we recently found out that not all Android versions do support TIFF. See: https://github.com/Akaflieg-Freiburg/enroute/issues/385 It's better to use "webp" instead. ("png" or "jpg" would work too.) I am also not sure whether you want "asSingleFile": true because that will result in a very large document which may be hard to handle. I have attached a zipped, working config file below. (You have to unzip it first before you can use it.) trip-kit-config-AIP-VFR-Germany-native.json.zip

Thank you very much for the really fast response and perfect answer! And sorry for my stupid mistake... I should have read the basic section more carefully!

Everything works like a charm and saves a lot of memory space. To have all approach charts with me makes it much mor easy for a backup solution to my paper charts.

--> Little note: When you try to import the Tripkit into EFN via the "open with..." function of the android V12 device it will crash and give you an exception error à la " Type of File XYZ is not recognized" You have to use the import way under Library - VAC

Maybe you can also report the "little note" here: https://github.com/Akaflieg-Freiburg/enroute/issues
